Genesis 9:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 9:18-23

Here is, I. Noah's family and employment. The names of his sons are again mentioned (Gen. 9:18, 19) as those from whom the whole earth was overspread, by which it appears that Noah, after the flood, had no more children: all the world came from these three. Note, God, when he pleases, can make a little one to become a thousand, and greatly increase the latter end of those whose beginning was small. Such are the power and efficacy of a divine blessing. The business Noah applied himself to was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:19

These are the three sons of Noah ,.... And his only ones; and if he had any more, they left no posterity behind them, since it follows: and of them was the whole earth overspread , with inhabitants, by them and their posterity only: Berozus F26 Antiqu. l. 2. fol. 13. 2. indeed says, that Noah, after the flood, begat more sons, and giants; and his commentator, Annius, talks of seventeen of them, among whom was Tuiscon, the father of the Germans; and the author of Juchasin F1 ... read more

The threefold distribution of the human race —into the Shemitic, Hamitic, and Japhetic families. The fall of Noah was through wine; not, indeed, a forbidden product of the earth, but, like the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, representing a tremendous responsibility . I. THE FERTILITY OF SIN . It was out of drunkenness that the widespread curse of the Hamitic nations came forth. And the drunkenness is closely connected with other sins— What a picture of the... read more

These are the three sons of Noah; and of them was the whole earth — i.e. the earth's population (cf. Genesis 11:1 ; Genesis 19:31 )— overspread . More correctly, dispersed themselves abroad . διεοπα ì ρησαν ε ̓ πι Ì πα ͂ σαν τη Ì ν γη ͂ ν ( LXX .): disseminatum est omne genus hominum (Vulgate). read more

- XXX. The Prophecy of Noah18. כנען kena‛an, “Kena‘an, bowed down.”19. נפץ nāpats, “break, scatter, spread.” פוּץ pûts, “break, scatter, flow.”20. כרם kerem, “orchard, vineyard.”21. יין yayı̂n, “wine; related: ferment.”After the blessing on the new heads of the human race has been pronounced, and the covenant with them renewed, we are prepared for a new development of human action. This appears, however, in the form of an event which is itself a meet preliminary to the subsequent stage of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:18-29

Noah and his sons (9:18-29)On one occasion Noah brought shame upon himself through becoming drunk. But God’s condemnation was concerned more with Noah’s son Ham, and particularly his grandson Canaan who tried to add to Noah’s disgrace (18-23). God announced a curse on the descendants of Ham who would come through Canaan, though not on Ham’s other descendants. The descendants of Canaan would have their land taken from them by the descendants of Shem (the nation Israel) and they themselves would... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 9:18-19

"And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole world overspread."The erroneous allegation that, "These verses are redactional"[17] is unacceptable. These verses are not the bungling efforts of some ancient scribe trying to harmonize Scripture, but they are absolutely correct and necessary in this context. The following account of the fall of Noah is an extremely... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 9:19

Genesis 9:19. Three sons—of them was the whole earth overspread— Three things may be observed from this. 1. That though Noah lived three hundred years after he came out of the ark, yet he begat no more children; or, if he did, none of them lived to have any posterity. 2. That the deluge was universal, as the whole earth was re-peopled by these three sons of Noah and their wives; an event which, doubtless, gave rise to the fable of the partition of the world between the three sons of Saturn,... read more

D. What became of Noah 6:9-9:29The Lord destroyed the corrupt, violent human race and deluged its world, but He used righteous Noah to preserve life and establish a new world after the Flood."Noah’s experience presents decisively the author’s assertion that the Lord judges human sin but provides a means for perpetuating the creation blessing (Genesis 1:26-28) and the salvation hope for an elect seed (Genesis 3:15). The recurring theme of blessing, threatened by sin but preserved by divine... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 9:18-24

Evidently Noah became so drunk that he took off all his clothes and then passed out naked in his tent. There is no explicit indication that Ham disrobed his father or committed some homosexual act. [Note: See Mathews, pp. 417, 419.] However, because the expression "to see one’s nakedness" is sometimes used of sexual intercourse, it is possible that sexual immorality was involved. [Note: Wolf, pp. 106-7.] Noah’s shame was not that he drank wine but that he drank to excess and thereby lost... read more
